My dad had this type of stroke 3 years ago tomorrow, and about 1-2 years before procedural intervention was available in my province. Amazing stuff - but also heartbreaking to see what might have been possible for him.
When a critical patient suddenly starts talking to long deceased family members, they are soon going to code until proven otherwise. Trust me on this one.
cw: pregnancy loss
I live in Alabama, a state with a total abortion ban, and was so overjoyed when I found out I was pregnant last month. I’ve been doing everything right. Stopped caffeine, took my prenatal vitamins, followed every rec. But I started bleeding on Tuesday.🧵
Canadian COVID Forecast Jan 22-28, 2023
NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR
SEVERE
About 1 in every 35 people is infected.
HOW TO HELP:
Mask, get your booster, avoid non-essential indoor public places, social gatherings.
Higher risk: also avoid outdoor social gatherings.
The way I see it, if somehow all the data on the cumulative risk of death, hosp, disability, heart attacks, strokes, etc with repeat covid infections turns out to be wrong, I will have worn a mask for longer than I needed to and missed a few social events. I’m ok with that. 1/3
And this folks is why family medicine is dying. Our government values a virtual visit by a provider who does not know the patient over the continuous, consistent in- person care by a family doctor #RIPFM.
Always positive, always in your corner. I have and will always consider myself lucky to have been mentored by her.
What a tremendous impact she’s had on neuroscience and on us all.
Rest in Peace Carolyn 🤍
My friends, our angel of LC research, Carolyn Weyand Harley passed away this Thanksgiving day at 6:33 PM surrounded by her family, and with one peaceful last breath. Always positive, always gracious & kind, her ideas spot on! 🔵 An international treasure. She will be missed.
It’s easy to be anti mask & anti vaccine, but trust me once it’s you or your dad in a Hallway having a heart attack and it’s still 3 hrs before getting into the ER you’ll find out how hard your “freedoms” have pushed the system to the brink. #CovidIsNotOver#COVIDisAirborne /end
